Greetings! The knives are out for Graham Platner.  Over the weekend, the Wall Street Journal and the NY Times both published major stories alleging that the married Platner was texting multiple women with sexually oriented messages.  And the Washington Free Beacon reported that Platner’s role as harbormaster of Sullivan, Maine, was basically a clerical position, undercutting his blue collar image that he projects as he seeks to oust Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) in the November election...Pride Month begins today. Brace yourselves for a barrage of homophobic remarks and innuendos from the Trump administration and right-wing press.  It was bad last year and I expect the insults will be worse this year...Arkansas declared June “Fidelity Month” in a move to counter-program Pride Month. I guess Trump won’t be visiting Arkansas this month...Something is wrong with the Trump: He seemed to have spent his entire weekend on Truth Social concocting a deluge of unhinged posts.  I stopped counting at 70; it’s more than I’ve ever seen from him in such a short period.  Here are just a few of the topics that got Trump’s attention: Greenland, Mt. Rushmore (with his face etched in stone, natch), DC’s reflecting pool, Rosie O’Donnell, E. Jean Carroll, the NY Times, and NFL QB Jaxson Dart. He also included many AI-generated images like this one of him and George Washington (both dressed in 1776 military clothing) riding horse across the White House lawn as racing cars zoom across the White House lawn. If he was your teenage son, this would be the time to take his phone away and send him to a wilderness therapy camp for out-of-control adolescents....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
